Your Role in Web Accessibility

Depending on the nature of the issue, a web accessibility issue may need to be addressed by different members of the web team: developer, content creator, or designer.

Developers

Developers create the systems for publishing web pages. These systems could be a server and file structure or a content management system. They may also set up the basic templates that will be used with each page.

Styling for link text (should be underlined and in a contrasting color)

Menu navigation behavior and styling

Evaluation tools

Many web accessibility evaluation tools include a way to look at the underlying code of the web page to show where the accessibility issue lies. See Evaluate a web page for accessibility for more information.
